ELM and FOUKRKTH TIMMINS BOTTLING WORKS PIGGY IS FE/ One of the oldest and most amusing supersiitions that has been handed down for generations in the Old Coun«â€" try has to do with a girl, a pig sty and Christmas Eve. The story is that if a girl goes to the sty, knocks loudly on the door and a big hog grunts in reply her husband is bound to be an old man. If, however, it should be a little piglet that answers with a squeal, her predestined mate will be young man. All knocking must be done on the night before Christmas or the divination will not be correct. l’()R( UPINE COBALT s FEATURED IN OLD CHRISTMAS LEGEND PHONE 1. «» 41 PAGE FIVE
